Admit it I got you to look. If you support the President, you decided by that headline, there was some information you could use to influence those right wing people that you argue with. If you are a member of the Republican or Tea Party, you decided this would be an opportunity to talk about the lies from the left. Guess what, you both are right and I did this to make a point.
Last week the Republicans lead by Romney and Rick Perry, had ads running that had the President saying, "Americans were lazy". The problem with the ads, were this. They were edited words from the President and a complete lie. President Obama was speaking to a group of CEOs and stated, "We (meaning the American Government), have been lazy, promoting America for investing by foreign countries and companies." He went on to say that our country is a great place to invest in and about the ability to grow here at home.
Now to my statement about Communistic ties. Look at the Communist Party and see what states they are in. Massachusetts, Virginia, Texas, as well as every other state in the union. I am sure with the number of people belonging to the Communist Party, each one of the candidates for the Republican Presidential Nomination, have Communists, that attend fund raisers, work near Republican headquarters, live near the candidates or even attend rallies. So my statement may have a factual basis, it is false and misleading.
I believe the time has come that we stop electing our leaders based on a thirty second sound bite, and based upon an educated review of their positions. We need to get past the slick advertising campaigns, that are waged by high paid, empty suits and get to the truth. We cannot afford to vote for a collective group of quotes. Write your various leaders and any candidates for office and let them know. We will not be mislead and lied to, for our votes. If they use misleading quotes and ads, vote for the other person, or write in a protest vote. Send the message now, it is a long political season.
